Careers and Employability Students Appointments and Drop-In Service Appointments

Meet with a Career Counsellor

Career Counsellors can help you to identify your skills, interests and values, set goals and explore opportunities.

A JCU Career Counsellor can help you make informed career-related decisions and develop strategies to achieve your goals. Appointments are free and confidential.

If you're struggling with a decision about whether to leave or change your course, you may wish to discuss it with a Career Counsellor.

To gain the most benefit from your appointment, we recommend you undertake the following preparation and exploration.

  • Work through the You and Your Career module in the Employability Edge program.
  • Check out myfuture. This interactive website helps you to identify your strengths and preferences and the types of jobs that may interest you.
  • Do some research on the occupations and industries that interest you..

If your enquiry is about:

  • electives
  • credit for your previous study
  • prerequisites
  • dropping or adding courses or subjects, or changing programs

Contact the JCU Student Centre on freecall 1800 246 446 or visit the Students website.
